Frequently Asked Questions
Can the gel be used for selective enamel etching?
Yes. Its thixotropic viscosity keeps it exactly where it is placed, making selective enamel etching precise and predictable.
How long can the etched surface wait before bonding?
Proceed with the adhesive step immediately after drying. If the surface is contaminated, re-etch for 10 seconds.
Is the gel compatible with self-etch adhesives?
Yes, it can be used for selective enamel etching before self-etch adhesive application.
